Chapter 178 - The Perfect Performance



Chapter 178: The Perfect Performance

Lu Qiang, was sitting at the auditorium feeling furious. Lu Qiang’s father, the new director of Jiang City Hospital, Lu Chunlai, was sitting in the middle of the first row at the auditorium. The man sitting next to him was a middle-aged man with a square face. He was happily talking with this man, and the attitude seemed to be respectable.

The compere’s introduction stupefied Lu Chunlai. He also knew that his son was pursuing Liu Kexin. Although he did not get involved, he accepted Liu Kexin in his heart. As far as he knew, Liu Kexin was born into a literary family, her parents were educated people. Liu Kexin was a very simple girl and was not like most material girls, he even felt that this girl was too good for his son. However, if he could pursue her, it was also a good thing.

But he heard his son saying a few days ago at the hospital that he would pursue Liu Kexin before the gala. But now the girl has brought her boyfriend to the gala. How embarrassing.

“Director Lu, Director Lu… What are you thinking about?”

Seeing Lu Chunlai in a daze, the man with a square face next to him called out to him in a low voice.

“Oh, oh, sorry, Deputy Mayor, I… I was a little absent-minded, I’m really sorry.” Lu Chunlai said apologetically after his mind was brought back to the present, “Deputy Mayor Zhang, what do you think of this celebration gala?”

“Well, not bad.” The man with a square face smiled and nodded. In fact, he had attended countless galas. He really couldn’t see what was so special about this small one. He just watched it casually.

A 30-year-old gentleman with glasses wearing a white suit next to him came over and whispered, “Deputy Mayor, it’s very late now. You’ve been handling so many documents these days and have just finished the meeting and come back from the provincial capital. It is time to go back to rest early.”

Deputy Mayor Zhang smiled and said, “Secretary Li, wait a few more minutes, but I am indeed a bit sleepy.”

Anyone who worked as a secretary must understand what the leader was thinking. Obviously, this secretary noticed that Deputy Mayor Zhang wanted to leave.

Lu Chunlai did not think much about it. He was very satisfied that he was able to invite Deputy Mayor Zhang to watch the programs this long. Deputy Mayor Zhang was in charge of environmental protection and health in Jiang City, hospitals and other departments were also under his control. He was Lu Chunlai’s immediate superior. He had already given him enough face to come and watch the gala. Especially since Lu Chunlai had just taken over the hospital, he needed to have this level of officials to come, which could add a few political chips for him and indirectly increase his prestige.

Deputy Mayor Zhang was embarrassed to leave directly. He planned to sit for two more minutes and then leave after the next show ended. This was also a habit of politicians watching the gala, it was to save the face of the organizers. Lu Chunlai also knew it and was ready to accompany Deputy Mayor Zhang personally to the car after the show ended.

Xiao Bing walked up from backstage. When he saw Xiao Bing, Lu Chunlai’s eyes widened. He couldn’t forget this person. Although Xiao Bing was not familiar with him, this Xiao Bing had greatly changed his political career. Why was the former director double-regulated? It was because of Xiao Bing, and Xiao Bing’s relationship with Zhang Yizhi in the capital was very close. “Is he Liu Kexin’s boyfriend? If this is the case, my son may not be able to compete with him.”

Lu Chunlai knew his own disappointing son too much. Besides having a good family, in what way was he better than others? Fortunately, Lu Chunlai was not a father who indulged his son. Otherwise, Lu Qiang might be more foppish.

Xiao Bing walked on to the stage. Many people below were whispering and looking at Xiao Bing. At this time, Xiao Bing was wearing a black tuxedo and looked handsome. He sat down in front of the piano. His gait and the way he put his hand on the piano keys had a kind of magic power. He was simply a piano prince.

The more people there were below who looked like love-struck fools, the more unhappy Lu Qiang got. He gnashed his teeth and said, “Pretentious, don’t think you can fool us by that. You will be ashamed later.”

A note centered on Xiao Bing and spread to every corner of the gymnasium. A feeling of deep love and sadness directly affected everyone.

He had casually pressed the piano key, and it had already affected others, Xiao Bing’s piano playing had reached the master level.

The experienced and knowledgeable deputy mayor’s eyes lit up and began to seriously watch Xiao Bing playing on stage.

Xiao Bing relaxed his fingers. His expression was soulful, and he slightly closed his eyes. After “Mariage d’amour” was played, the love at first sight and secret love at the beginning immediately appeared in front of everyone. The scenes were formed one after another in everyone’s mind. From knowing each other to deeply loving, everyone was intoxicated, moved, sad, and in pain.

At this time, Liu Kexin also came on stage dancing gorgeously. Her dance was exquisite, her posture was beautiful and noble, just like a princess.

The sound of the piano and the dance complemented each other.

The deputy mayor was intoxicated with the music and the dance, and so were the others.

Suddenly, Xiao Bing released that strong love he had through music, and then followed by the pain after expression of love, sorrow and leaving the hometown… The audience under the stage began to cry silently.

The pitch suddenly began to calm down. Liu Kexin was like a princess. She had shown the princess’s subsequent confusion about marriage, the gradual acceptance and happiness. As for the male protagonist, after a few years in the world, he could not stand it anymore. On the day the princess would walk to the wedding palace. He went to the wedding scene, and then…

After the male protagonist had seen his beloved woman, a sharp arrow was headed towards her. Suddenly, Xiao Bing jumped from his seat and rushed straight to Liu Kexin. He opened his arms and stood on the ground with one foot. The arms were constantly shaking, that was a kind of pain that was a kind of sorrow.

“Mariage d’amour” had not finished playing but it was over. The two people began to continue with the dance in silence. The male protagonist blocked the arrow for the princess. The man fell, the princess confused and the happy tears of the man.

They vividly performed all of this. The people below cried. When everything was over, one person, two people, three people… They stood up one after another and applauded one after the other. The whole gymnasium was full of thunderous applause.

Xiao Bing and Liu Kexin stood together. They held each other’s hand and bowed to the audience together, and then they slowly exited. People didn’t stop clapping as Xiao Bing and Liu Kexin left the stage, and it continued for a long time afterwards.

“I’m so moved, so moved…” The deputy mayor also stood up. As he applauded, he shook his head and said, “This is a master-level performance. It’s the best performance I have seen in years. Even the large-scale performances I’ve watched in the capital can’t compare with this one. Director Lu, people in your hospital are all so talented! It is incredible that such a talent is actually working in a hospital.”

Lu Chunlai was also shocked. After hearing what Deputy Mayor Zhang said, his heart pounded even more. It was a great honor that he could be appreciated by Deputy Mayor Zhang. It was greatly beneficial in helping to stabilize his foundation in the hospital.

Lu Chunlai hurriedly said with a smile, “I will express your praise to them later.”

“Yes.” Deputy Mayor Zhang’s looked to be in a good mood and he nodded with a smile.

Lu Chunlai cautiously asked, “Deputy Mayor Zhang, if you want to go back, may I personally accompany you?”

Deputy Mayor Zhang waved his hand and said, “It’s not urgent, I will watch for a while. Then we can go together after the show ends. I want to enjoy the performances of the talents in your hospital.”

Lu Chunlai was happy, but he knew that Deputy Mayor Zhang was not saving face for him. Because of Xiao Bing and Liu Kexin’s wonderful performances, he held high expectations for the following programs.

Everyone at the gymnasium was gushing about Xiao Bing and Liu Kexin’s performances. Liu Kexin’s white dress was amazing and the dance was beautiful and exquisite. Xiao Bing’s piano music especially and perfect dance performance. Their teamwork was flawless.

Lu Qiang listened to the discussions around him about Xiao Bing and Liu Kexin being a perfect couple. He clenched his fists tightly and was suddenly somewhat discouraged. Xiao Bing was better at fighting than he was and better at piano-playing and dance than he was. After carefully considering, it seemed that he had no other advantages except his father’s prestige. It was no wonder that Liu Kexin chose this man. Lu Qiang suddenly lost the will to fight with Xiao Bing.

Xiao Bing and Liu Kexin held hands as they went backstage. They did not feel calm at all. They suddenly stopped and looked at each other. Xiao Bing held her in his arms and slightly closed his eyes. Liu Kexin shed tears, she choked and said, “I will never leave you, never leave you….”

They were immersed in the characters they performed and were still unable to extricate themselves. Liu Kexin found herself in Xiao Bing’s arms. Suddenly, her heart which had been silent for over 20 years, began to waver and great waves began to rise from within and gush out.

Those backstage who passed by all looked at them. But they were looks which showed understanding, envy and blessing. Obviously, they were also overwhelmed by the couple’s performance. For the death of the male protagonist, they could not change the ending of the story. However, they hoped that they could continue the story in real life, and the lovers would finally get married.

When Xiao Bing started to recover, he could feel Liu Kexin blushing hotly in his arms. He knew then that Liu Kexin was also recovering at this time and slowly began to return from the story to reality. So her action and words just now made this shy girl feel embarrassed.

Xiao Bing gave a wry smile. If Yezi knew, what should he do? The play-acting almost became a reality.

Xiao Bing kissed Liu Kexin’s lush hair at the top of her head, then took a step back and let Liu Kexin come out of his arms. He smiled and said, “Silly girl, you couldn’t get out of your role, huh? The performance was a success. Let’s go and invite the two teachers to a celebration feast.”

Seeing that Xiao Bing was so free and easy, Liu Kexin lost her embarrassment. She stuck her tongue out and said with a smile, “If my sister-in-law saw this, I wouldn’t have been able to explain myself. It’s so embarrassing. Let’s go to the celebration feast!”

Xiao Bing and Liu Kexin found some staff and asked them to inform the leaders. Then they left together.
